Rep. Dave Loebsack

Rep. Dave Loebsack (D-Iowa City) says he understands why some Democrats think the presidential nomination process in their party is undemocratic. He says he's open to changing the process, but not until the 2016 election cycle is over. He also says Bernie Sanders has not contacted him about his superdelegate vote.

Rep. Dave Loebsack (D-Iowa City) says he is focused solely on winning re-election in 2016, but he wouldn't say no to the possibility of running for Iowa governor in 2018. He says he thinks Democrats will field a strong candidate for the next gubernatorial race.

Rep Dave Loebsack (D-Iowa City) says he doesn't agree with Governor Branstad's water quality proposal, but he thinks it's really significant because it's an acknowledgement that there's a problem. Loebsack says all stakeholders must be involved in a solution and flood mitigation should be dealt with at the same time.
